EXPECTATIONS

High expectations and standards are crucial for any school student as they provide a framework for personal growth and academic achievement.

When students are held to high expectations, they are encouraged to strive for excellence and to push themselves beyond their comfort zone towards realising their full potential.

By setting high expectations we aim to cultivate a culture of ambition, resilience, and continuous improvement, empowering our students to become lifelong learners and contributors to society. We do this through a simple list of preferential bahaviours, reinforced through our daily practices.

We help all of our students to grow and to display the following positive attributes.

To follow our school PRIDE values


To attend school every day


To engage with their learning




To follow instructions from staff

To not wear clothes with offensive pictures or writing

To always be civil in their behaviour and speech
